Jenny Robinson Art
British, b. 1957
In October 2019 Robinson received the Mario Avati Gravure Laureate Award from the Academie des Beaux Arts in Paris. This award includes a solo Exhibition at the Pavillon Comtesse de Caen, opposite the Louvre in Sept 2021.
Brought up in Sarawak, Borneo (now Malaysia), Jenny's earliest impressions of the effects of light and colour were formed there. Since studying for her BA Fine Art Printmaking at WSCAD in Surrey UK, Jenny has traveled extensively throughout the world, always with a sketchbook within easy reach.
During these travels she concentrated on refining and developing her love of light and shadow, particularly how these elements combine with buildings and architectural detail to create an atmosphere of time and place. Robinson is a full time painter/printmaker living in Australia. She exhibits regularly in London, Paris and California.
"My studio in San Francisco was based in an area of postindustrial decline, populated by architecture that is on the periphery of people’s vision, hidden either by design or by obsolescence, abandoned and forgotten.
My work has always been informed by my immediate environment - where I live, work and go has a direct impact on the subject matter I am drawn to. After moving from London to San Francisco in 2001, I became fascinated by structures displaying a sense of strength and energy, but ignored, threatened by the passage of time to ultimate defeat by corrosion and decay. My work is concerned with depicting how these giant structures appear, not through a sense of romantic yearning for the past, but by responding to location and documenting how they appear to me, now, in the moment." - Jenny Robinson
As an artist who works primarily on paper, printmaking is the perfect vehicle for Robinson to explore these themes of atmosphere and corrosion. The monoprint process enables her to create images that are drenched and heavy with dark ink. Using deeply saturated colors and textures not only reveal the surfaces of the structures but also permeate the emptiness around them. The physical nature of making large format monoprints helps to create the monumentality of its subject matter. Each step of the process, from drawing the image onto the plate, scouring and gouging, inking, and finally, wiping the surface for printing, suffuses the final print with a textural, tactile, physical quality difficult to achieve in other media, creating the perfect balance of color, texture and line.

Restaurant in Mott Street
By Charles Frederick William Mielatz
Located in New Orleans, LA
The image depicts a restaurant on New York's Mott Street with ornamental iron work on the balconies. There are six figures in the scene in various stages of contrast. Mott Street is considered the unofficial Main Street of New York's Chinatown. Ella Fitzgerald sang it best: “And tell me what street compares with Mott Street in July? Sweet pushcarts gently gliding by.”
CFW Mielatz was an early influence on the drypoints and etchings of Martin Lewis. This piece was created in 1906 and it is signed in pencil. It is part of the collection of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art
C.F.W. Mielatz
American, 1860-1919
Born in Bredding, Germany in 1864, Mielatz emigrated to the United States as a young boy and studied at the Chicago School of Design. Mostly self-taught, his first prints were large New England landscapes reminiscent of the painter-etcher school of American Art. Around 1890 he started to produce prints of New York City and by the time of his death, the number totaled over ninety images. He was a master technician in the field of etching, reworking many of his plates to get the exact feeling he was seeking. Mielatz was a member of the New York Etching...
